Planning an event in Northam?
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A summer party in Northam stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Find out what power and water are available

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Party venues around Northam
Northam is about 1 mile south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Tell us where your party in Northam will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Northam is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring Mexican party catering.
Once the service at a church like Church of St Augustine is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. Thinking of a party in East Park? A food truck in a public park usually needs permission from the landowner, so check first. Northam is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 2 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Wherever your party is in SO14, SO19 and SO18, we can bring Mexican party catering to you. Whether your party is on Sea Road, Lumpy Lane and Cross Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Northam questions
What’s the nearest station to Northam for guests?
Guests can use Bitterne station, about 0.6 miles north of Northam.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Typically. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. Children typically enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, and salsas go on the side. Tell us how many children are coming.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
There is no fixed price list, as each party is different. Send your details and we’ll send a quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We will check availability for you.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Southampton. Find your area.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Measure your gate or driveway
Kids enjoy queuing at the hatch, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Quesadillas for younger guests.
Comparing your options
Unlike a barbecue, there is no waiting for the next batch, and there’s no host stuck at the grill. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Book food, drinks or both
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Send a picture of the spot so we can check
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
